hows the hiatus huntercad?

So berserk.

usually edginess hits a ceiling and gets less edgy afterwards, so technically there's no such thing

so not shigurui

violence is necessary to tell a story such as Berserk, readers need an explanation to the brutality of the enemies and the cruelty of their actions

when it's used to convey how "cool" or "badass" a character is.

That's the best kind of edgy.
It's too edgy if the author takes it too seriously and doesn't acknowledge that gratuitous edge is an end to itself. The worst kind of edge is when the edginess is presented as realistic.

bad post

This. Also when it goes on for too long after the point has been made.

basically this

Not necessarily, it depends how the story handles that kind of edge. and if the edgyness is either pointless or unentertaining

His point is valid, edginess is most cringe when it's trying to prove something. Edginess that knows how silly it is becomes based. Think Hellsing vs Akame Ga Kill

When it feels out of place with the overall tone of the series

characters doing shit like comitting rape or gratuitous torture because "they can" or because "they're evil" or "because the world sucks" is bad edge.

that's the nature of apostles in berserk retard, and they ain't even main characters of the story, only one apostle is and it's the less fucked up in his actions.

shit opinion

>WAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!
What did he mean by this?

When the violence/rape stops being impactful and shocking and ends up being comical instead;

My point being something like Goblin Slayer where the author tries to depict edgy, pointless and easily avoidable rape and murder as "realistic" makes it the bad kind of edgy because it only makes sense by fiat of everyone but Goblin Slayer being unrealistically retarded is a lot less fun than anything by the equally edgy (though without the rape bait) Hirano because his edginess is purposefully campy and the manga he writes revels in being off the rails.
The same is true with the first few chapters of Berserk where the edge is equally over the top, but before we're introduced to the edgy and ridiculous monster designs that really make the series. Edgelord shit isn't realistic and pretending that it is makes a series stupid.

when the intent is just to be shocking

>only makes sense by fiat of everyone but Goblin Slayer being unrealistically retarded
Have you ever met a normalfaggot?

A 100%, and the moment 14 year old eat it up you know you fucked up

I've never taken anything in Goblin Slayer as an attempt to be realistic but maybe that's just me idk
